Khabeesa is
a Oman breakfast dish served on eid days{acc. to wiki}. This dish is simple to
make & delicious in taste. This is similar to the India puddings like
vermicelli payasam, godhsambu payasam or the traditional kheer dish we
make. You can get the flavors of cardamoms & rose water in every
bite of this dish. Rose water always
made me feel unpleasant when used in cooking. Thought this would be the
same, but surprisingly I was happy with taste & smell of rose water in it.
So below comes the recipe for Khabeesa, enjoy it.

Ingredients
2Cups milk
1/4Cup condensed milk

1/2Tsp cardamom powder
1Tbs rose water
Few saffron string
2Tbs butter
Fried cashew for topping
Directions
- Heat a wide pan & to that add semolina along with milk. {If you add the milk at once semolina might crumble, to avoid that add little by little of milk while stirring semolina.}
- Bring them to boil & later add in condensed milk, cardamom powder, rose water, saffron strings & butter.
- Mix them well & cook till semolina is cooked perfectly. Switch off heat.
- Serve warm with cashews on top.
Note
- Stir the pudding once in a while as it avoids forming lumps.
- Sweet was just perfect in this dish. Add another 2tbs if you have a sweet tooth.
- I fried cashews in butter before adding to the pudding.
